Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sourdough bread slices
- 0.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, Gruyere, and Parmesan cheeses.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese evenly onto one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Divide the shredded cheese mixture evenly between two of the slices of bread, pressing slightly to help it stick to the cream cheese.
Top each cheese-covered slice of bread with the remaining slices of bread, cream cheese side down, to form sandwiches.
Spread the garlic-butter mixture evenly over the outsides of both sandwiches.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
